Clinque Dramatically Different Lotion REVIEW

I often wondered as a child why my mom kept blotting her nose with that red sponge. She explained it was to remove the shine. I didn't get it until I turned 37.
After having children, my skin changed so much. Prior to that my skin had been super duper dry! Now, I'm oily on the nose mainly, but dry on the cheeks.

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion



The moisture “drink” developed by Clinique’s dermatologists to maintain optimal moisture balance for very dry skins, or skins dry in the cheeks, comfortable to oily in the T-zone. Softens, smooths, improves.

I bought the 3 step set from the CCO in February. I was really impressed by this lotion. It feels so good on my combination skin. It adequately moisturizes my dry areas without leaving my nose feeling too oily. My skin kind of drinks it up, literally as Clinique says.

If you don't want to spend $24.00 on the big bottle, please consider buying a smaller one. If you have combination skin, you won't be sorry.

Have these products gone the way of the do-do bird?

Currently they are not available on the Avon website.

Perhaps one may find them on ebay.

I enjoy "blending" my eyeshadow & creating my own color combinations.

NK, Nicka K, Absolute Liner Collection

I don't believe in over-spending money on lip & eye liners.
The only exception would probably be waterproof pencils. I would likely opt for waterproof liners in the PRESTIGE brand. I understand the quality is as good, if not BETTER THAN the Urban Decay 24/7 Liners as well as the Make Up For Ever AquaLiners. (according to various makeup message boards)

If you are unfamiliar with NK, Nicka K, or Absolute, they are located in
New York City, USA. They are all manufactured by the same company.
I purchase them from my local beauty supply for $1 each.

They are VERY SOFT!

I use my Eye Pencils as secondary bases.
I also like to use them on my waterline.
I set them with eyeshadow.

I use my Lip Pencils as a base for lipgloss sometimes. I also use them as a base for lipstick (fill in).
